so i backed up my nova launcher and then when i went back to restore it it wasnt there.. i saved it to my computer since i figured that would happen.. it says the file location is /sdcard/data/com.teslacoilsw.launcher/backup so i put the file there and obviously it didnt recognize it.. so i made a mock backup so i could search around where it saved so i can save mine in that same spot but the file is no where to be found.

can anyone help im on nova launcher version 2.0.1
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] colemac:
I am having the same issue again. I can't find the location of the restore file. I even created a dummy one to make sure backup and restore worked.....so the test one I did. I can't even find that now....

There's already a few pages of this so it might've been mentioned, but for me this works:

Copy files from main storage/0/0 to just storage/0. Then CREATE a back up...then go to restore and Nova should discover all your existing back ups.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] rjoliveira:
Same problem. Easier with AirDroid

I've struggled with that problem as well. It seems that upon installing Nova Launcher on devices that the /data/ subdirectory isn't automatically created. I don't know if it's due to the lack of a removable SD card or what. I finally decided today to try creating the necessary subdirectories using AirDroid and connecting to my device that way. I suppose it could also be done with any file manager but since I had to factory reset my phone due to a bad CM 11 installation I didn't have a file manager available at the moment.

In AirDroid, you connect to your phone wirelessly (same Wi-Fi network) and then create the following subdirectories off of /sdcard/....

1. data

2. com.teslacoilsw.launcher

3. backup

If done correctly, you will be able to navigate to /sdcard/data/com.teslacoilsw.launcher/backup/ via AirDroid or any file manager.

Then add the Nova Launcher backup file in the backup folder, and...

After that when you initiate a RESTORE the backup file will show in the BACKUPS dialog within Nova Launcher.

As the title goes, which one do you guys prefer? After playing with swift today, I went back to Swype. I like it better. I am think that even the stock keyboard is nice, but the multitude Swype gestures available on Swype really make it powerful. Keep in mind that I use the Swype/flow functions in these, I almost never tap.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dlo604:
I was using SwiftKey on my Nexus and actually bought the app well quite frankly I enjoy it more than the stock keyboard.

Also, SwiftKey has a function called 'Float' which is essentially Swype. I still don't use it, but then just love the feel of SwiftKey. Not sure if this feature is available with the free version.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] mike2518:
Yea, swiftkey flow is the feature I was talking about when comparing both.

I tend to use SwiftKey on my Nexus 7 but I'm sticking with Swype on the phone. I've been using the Swype beta since the Vibrant and it's a bit difficult to get used to different swipe gestures.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] snc74:
SwiftKey Flow (now part of SwiftKey itself) is by far better keyboard than swype, than stock, than anyone. Period. The only one that maybe looks promising is fleksy, and I didn't tried yet, so by now, sk has the best word prediction, imho.

I wanna try the flow thing but I bought my swiftkey from Amazon a while ago and it's still on version 1.1.19. Anyone know if I can upgrade?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] lyinelriche:
I'm back on Swype. I was using Swift key flow beta until it expired yesterday. I got a notification that said swift key corrected 175 of my typos. Actually, the typos were due to swiftkey's poor predictive text:rolleyes: I would slowly drag my thumb over N...O...T and the word "not" would be in the predictive box, but as soon as I went to E (for Note), it would change and input the word "busy" .. delete...pound out letter by letter ;)

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Kawaisa:
Flow is pretty awesome :) Better than swype IMHO.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dre89:
There's a reason I've used SwiftKey since the alpha. It was the best then and it's only gotten better over time, but I don't really care for the flow/swype stuff, it's not that accurate to me. But I did just use it to type this so it's not too bad on SwiftKey

noted for future reference on my Note 2
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dirtbag1975:
I've been using the paid version of SwiftKey for a couple years on my epic 4g, also tested the flow beta on my note 2 when I migrated over. On the Note I prefer Swype, I feel it's more intuitive, and its accuracy is better hence it's faster. I tried the recent SwiftKey update on the paid version that now includes flow, but I still feel it's not as fluid or accurate as Swype. I get 3 times the amount of errors with SwiftKey that SwiftKey creates that I don't get with Swype. I could care less about which one looks better. I prefer functionality over looks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] JaguarXT:
I like the numbers on top, without holding the keys, and hand writing compatibilities with S Pen on the Samsung keyboard. I love the arrow keys and ten keyboard on the SwiftKey.

When it comes between Swype keyboard and SwiftKey keyboard I would choose SwiftKey. SwiftKey is better in choosing the right words and has more features than Swype.

The only thing I would like to see in SwiftKey keyboard is numbers on top, without holding the keys, and hand writing compatibilities with S Pen. Then SwiftKey would be the most perfect keyboard.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Double0EK:
I like the stock Samsung keyboard. It has the swype feature.. Why download another app that does essentially the same thing?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] JaguarXT:
I agree to a point.

The only thing missing in the Samsung keyboard that I use is Arrow keys and when typing only numbers I like ten key. But otherwise I do like the Samsung's keyboard for GN2.

Mainly I use the arrow keys within SwiftKey keyboard that keeps me coming back to the SwiftKey keyboard. For me that is an important feature for a keyboard. I always miss the right spot with my big fingers.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrbkkt1:
Best thing about swiftkey, is on my note 10, it's an awesome keyboard. No more typing 3's and 8's when I want e's and o's. They keep the number row hidden, and I can fly typing on the tablet.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dlo604:
The same reason why a person would Root their phone? Because it's better and improves the overall usage of a person's phone?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] pablo71:
Swype is a better slider

I bought swiftkey4 last week, and was impressed with flow, and loved how I could change the long press times to get numbers and punctuation faster than on Swype (it frustrates me that I can't do that on Swype)....

....but I went back to Swype within 40 minutes, because I have grown dependent on the swype gesture shortcuts for "select-all", "copy" and "paste." These are essential and, according to Google, SwiftKey doesn't have those, which to me means I just donated $2 to some awesome programmers who might add those shortcuts to SwiftKey one day.

....both are excellent pieces of technology, but I find Swype a better slider, but when/if swiftkey gets those shortcuts I'll test it again.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] pcorlatan:
I've been using TouchPal for months and like it the most.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrbkkt1:
Exact reason why I use Swype on the note 2 and swiftkey on the note 10. Typing and weird recognition is better in swift key, and stopping and gestures rule Swype.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] timmytucker718:
Swype vs. SwiftKey

SwiftKey:

-Predicts future words based on context and user language style it learns.

- can string multiple words without you entering spaces, or lets you swipe the space.

-Auto adds words to dictionary when selected.

-shows you what it's guessing as you swipe so you can lift early to improve typing speed.

-more accurate tapping

Swype:

-Gives you choices after you swype a word so you don't have to go back to the word to correct if it is wrong on its first pick

-more accurate swiping

All in all I like swift key better for its numerous advantages. Despite not getting choices after swyping in a word, it usually knows what I am saying so I rarely need to go back to correct a word anyway.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] jinda628:
Can you swipe now with both thumbs at the same time with Swype or Swiftkey?

I am using Keymonk and it allows you to do that but I really dont like their keyboard layout compared to Swiftkey or Samsung's default kb.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] JesseMT4G:
I sometimes miss the numbers option on stock keyboard, but the word prediction is amazing with SwiftKey and flow is just as good.

Paid 4 bucks and gladly so.

Fancy pants Note ||:)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] jsapp:
I have the paid versions of Swipe, Swiftkey, Kii and Slideit. I haven't used Slideit for quite a while so I cannot give input on that. Kii I like the numbers on the top row and arrow notions, but got the wrong word a lot. Swiftkey is decent, but it it's a pain in the ads to go back and correct previously typed words and wasn't as good getting the right weird, but great at prediction Swype, I keep going back to. Don't use prediction enough, but the main reason is that I can use it to enter passwords and the ease of going back to correct words.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] jinda628:
This is what I've been using. Really fast when you get used to it.

Predictive text work fine too.

Could have been better if there are number rows above like the default kb.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Aria807:
I use swype because I can swype my pw. Swiftkey doesn't allow me to.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] OmmNomNom:
I take Swype because it has traditional Chinese support
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] pberge:
I have been jumping back and forth between SwiftKey Flow and Swype for a while and keep coming back to Swype. I hardly ever tap, so that negates many of the advantages of Swiftkey and I find the swiping accuracy is better with Swype.

By far the most important thing is the ability to change words after they are swiped without having to backspace first.

Then there are the Swype gestures. Swipe from ? or ! to the spacebar instead of long pressing a key. Copy, paste, select all shortcuts and the edit panel are also really useful.

The ability to directly access either the full sized number pad or standard top row number layout.

The one thing I would love to see is the ability to change the long press delay, which is one of the most requested features but somehow always gets ignored.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] one80oneday:
Number row gives stock swiftkey the edge. Not a swiper though so I can't compare.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mrmannyb:
Same here I prefer going back to Swype for that same reason
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] You_got_owned123:
I **** stock the layout if stock but hate how it functions- ir should I say, doesn't function..Even with the new autocorrect version, it's quite hard to use. I prefer Swiftkey

I've always used in htc Swype as default came Swiftkey I never used because I have not seen the need now with my note2 use the Samsung which is similar or keyboard google in version 4.2 greatly improved
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ShawnReg:
Both are basically same but I have Swype

Well, basically both Swiftkey and Swype are the same except in Swiftkey you can disable flow or swipe feature and there are loads of other features like split keyboard and bla bla. If you don't mind spending $4 on Swiftkey then go for it. If you just want the swype feature go for Swype.

Swiftkey prediction is horrid IMHO. Swype is much more speedy & accurate for me.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] agvendiola:
Swiftkey user here. I liked it because it has my local dictionary/language. Good prediction, learns my commonly used words, even mixing them up. The first feature I would like them to add next is the ability to backspace and correct the word I just typed. It does not make sense why it was not the default behavior.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] hawaiirr:
really wanted Swiftkey to work for me

I enabled the Swiftkey flow and I ran into a lot of bad predictive texts and a lot of lag. I would be in the middle of a word and it would just freeze for 10-20 seconds. This would actually happen pretty often too. When it came to the accuracy it was good only half of the time. I thought it would learn my words the more typed them but after a week of dealing with it I just gave up and installed Swype. I know Swiftkey is good as a type keyboard but I wanted a swipe keyboard. Once I went back to Swype all my texts were fast and accurate. ;)

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] kynolin:
I've used Swype for a long time and Swiftkey/Google keyboard (swipe version) about equally, well a little less on Swiftkey.

Keep in mind, comparing these keyboards swipe ability with tapping ability will get you nowhere.

For swiping exclusively:

Swype: Much less aggressive with prediction, but it's much easier to type specifically what you want or complex things that aren't easily predicted.

Swipe/Google: Much more aggressive prediction, including auto-spacing, but it can be kind of annoying to string together customer words.

Example:

In Swype, it's a lot easier to type Mincraft by swiping 'Mine' followed by 'craft'. Swiftkey and Google will add a space when swiping two words.

Typing a normal paragraph quickly in Google/Swiftkey will be much easier/faster.

This is just from my experience. I would really like to try Swiftkey/Google with a feature that disables the auto-space in between words. :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ash359:
I have always preferred Swype. I am just used to swiping without looking at the word choice menu too often.

I ran swiftkey for a while at loved it at first but it relies heavily on prediction. I never got used to using the word choice menu so it was problematic for me. Swype was easier to correct when an error was made also.

Also swiftkey can make the user as predictable as the software. Would be easy to fall into a habit of using the same phrases over and over out of convenience.

Swiftkey also needs more word choices than just three.

First sorry for my bad English.

I recently bought an android smartphone (Sony Xperia U), and had to change the original kernal to root my device. Since I made this change, I have kept some very serious concerns about this. In short, I fear that this process endangers the security and privacy of my unit. I would love to hear the words of an expert on the subject, because I do not know it very well. My questions are stupid maybe, but hopefully respond correctly to me to be more relaxed about it!

1) It is possible that this modified kernal allow anyone access to my phone, without my knowing it?

2) It is possible that this kernal developer has access to my photos, videos, messages or emails?

3) It is possible that the modified kernal act at some point so malicious spyware as a maybe?

4) It is possible that the developer enter codes or programs in kernal allowing remote access to my machine or its applications? (as camera control, control the messages or calls etc)

Well, I know it sounds weird, but I worry a lot with my privacy and security!

Thanks for helping, really!
